<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p><b><a href="/sites/default/files/1475788_10100764492273256_1825630383_n2.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/1475788_10100764492273256_1825630383_n2-250x363.jpg" width="250" height="363" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" /></a>Tell us a bit about your life.</b><br />I have been working at Tesla Motors since October 2013 and was recently promoted to Senior Project Manager. While this occupies most of my life, I carve out time for other adventures: Belize last November, Thailand this April, weekend ski trips with friends. &nbsp;I volunteer at a homeless housing project, providing homework and tutoring support. Also, I enjoy seeing Waldorf classmates, both from grade school (WSP) and high school (SFWHS). &nbsp;And I am putting my Waldorf art skills to use illustrating my cousin’s book of poetry, due to be published this March in Germany.&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Describe your journey since high school graduation. </b><br />I was accepted to Drexel University but took a “gap year” after high school for travel and work. I moved to Lake Tahoe and worked at Heavenly ski resort for the winter season, enjoying the freedom of a minimum wage job with minimal responsibilities. I later traveled to Australia and Germany over the summer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While I enjoyed my year off and would recommend it to high school graduates, I was also ready to get back to school. At Drexel I studied Design and Merchandising, with a minor in Marketing, and valued the program and Philadelphia. After graduation, California called me home: I became an intern at CloudOn, a small start-up in Palo Alto, and within a few months was offered a full-time position as a Product Manager. I learned a lot in the start-up world and am grateful to have worked with such talented people. I stayed with CloudOn for two years, but found that I needed to work for a company that I truly felt passionate about, the way most people at CloudOn felt about their product.</p>
<p>After two years, I jumped at the opportunity to work for Tesla. The company is working to accelerate sustainability in transportation and bring electric cars to the mass market, something I am passionate about. Still, I knew little about cars, even less about electric cars, and even less about the team I joined (wire harness engineering) – so there was a steep learning curve. The company has a sink-or-swim culture and encourages employees to take initiative. I learned quickly how to contribute to the team, support them in a variety of capacities, and was recently promoted to my current position.&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Can you reflect of your Waldorf years, nine years after graduation?</b><br />Waldorf’s emphasis on creativity in learning and curiosity of spirit is alive for me in the workplace and in my life. Tesla is still very much the scrappy, start-up kind of place, and each individual is given great responsibility over their tasks. If you don’t do it, no one else will. The small classroom environment at SFWHS fostered that same sense of responsibility and initiative. The teachers knew our strengths and encouraged us to work on our weaknesses — they challenged us to do our best. I was inspired by the caliber of my fellow students, and was constantly motivated to think and work in new and innovative ways. The Waldorf emphasis on independent initiative has served me well, at work and in personal development. </p>
<p><b>You joined SFWS in the high school. &nbsp;How was the transition?</b><br />I attended the Waldorf School of the Peninsula for grade school, so although I was new to SF Waldorf, the transition was quite natural. First though, I spent my freshman year at a German international school, but missed Waldorf education so much that I knew I had to commit to the trek to the City. The creativity, energy, rigor, and passion for learning at the high school were well worth the three-hour daily commute. I felt welcomed and at home at the high school and grew academically and personally during my time there.&nbsp;</p>
<p>One thing I learned at the high school that is constantly reinforced: being passionate about what you do makes a huge difference in your attitude towards hard work. Caring about your work makes those long nights, or frustrating projects, rewarding instead of draining.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every month Tesla posts little newsletter notices in the bathroom, and they always come with a quote. This month’s quote comes from Jane Goodall: “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” We each have to make decisions for our own lives, as well as for the impact we want to make on the lives of others. I am happy to know that the peers I met at SFWHS and WSP are out in the world, making a difference.</p>

<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p><a href="/sites/default/files/serrano_1_0.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/serrano_1_0-200x200.jpg" width="200" height="200" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" /></a>Fully immersed in a recent Eurythmy performance, a piece by Franz Shubert at the Eurythmeum Stuttagart where she is a student, Isabella Serrano found perfect tone through movement and music – something akin perhaps to the flow of an elite athlete who is “in the zone.” &nbsp;</p>
<p>“I used to play the cello,” Isabella recounts. “When there is perfect pitch in any key, the D string vibrates. That is when you know you are completely in tune. And that is similar to what is possibly in eurythmy – when one is able to truly make tones and intervals visible, it will sing.”</p>
<p>Isabella returned to San Francisco Waldorf School over winter break to talk about her unique path from the high school (Class of 2011) to international eurythmist-in-training. &nbsp;She is nearing the end of her four years of study at the Eurythmeum Stuttgart in Germany where she will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Eurythmy.</p>
<p>The conversation was sprinkled with insights into the world of a young eurythmist who is deepening her understanding of the meaning behind the movement and discovering the sweeping possibilities of the practice -- in education, the arts, therapy. </p>
<p><a href="/sites/default/files/eurythmy_2014-67_0.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/eurythmy_2014-67_0-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" style="float: left; margin-right: 15px;" /></a>“When you see Eurthymy in Germany and compare it to the practice here, we are just so new,” notes Isabella. “It is simply not as widespread or developed, and there are great possibilities to share the art form. &nbsp;Eventually, I’d like to come back and offer eurythmy to people who wouldn’t come in contact with it – people outside of Waldorf education of all ages. It is awesome and all-encompassing in its breadth, and more people should have opportunities to experience eurythmy.”</p>
<p>Isabella attended a Waldorf charter school in grade school that had everything but eurythmy. So her first exposure came at San Francisco Waldorf High School, and she took to it immediately, first in ninth grade class and later as a member of the school’s performance troupe where she toured internationally. &nbsp;She describes herself having stage presence from a young age, feeling alive in performance, and drawn to movement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As high school graduation approached, Isabella applied to colleges but didn’t know what she wanted to study. “Art or communications were possibilities,” she recalls, but questioned, “Is that really me?” &nbsp;She was drawn to continue her studies of eurythmy and found a mentor in Astrid Thiersch, the high school’s Eurythmy teacher. &nbsp;“I saw her practice Eurythmy. I saw her art and her life and her role as a teacher. I decided that is what I want – to learn and to teach eurythmy.”</p>
<p>Isabella didn’t know much about Steiner’s philosophy, but followed her heart to Germany to study. Like many adventurous young people, she did not know what she was getting into. First, there were immense practical challenges of living independently abroad: with only a few months of the language under her belt, she began her undergraduate studies in German. The intensive program includes six hours of eurythmy daily in addition to course work in anthroposophy, taught using the block system – at a place that she describes as a Waldorf college.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The first year I returned and wondered if I could keep going,” notes Isabella. “Where is the sun? It was cold and grey, and I wasn’t able to fully express my feelings about the studies. (Steiner is difficult enough to read in English!) &nbsp;But I said, ‘Ok, I really love eurythmy. Keep going. It will be fine.’ Now I am almost finished – I did it.”Isabella looks back fondly to her years at the high school, noting the confidence she gained from her academic studies and the practical toolkit that gave her a broad range of unusual skills. (She earns college money by sewing.) She and her classmates also recognize their strengths in creative problem solving, applicable in all facets of life.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I understand German well now, but recognize that I am not a eurythmy expert. I see this as a lifelong journey – to understand Steiner’s teachings and to express myself through the art of euythmy. It is time to go out in the world and try out what I have learned.”</p>

<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>At San Francisco Waldorf High School, innovation, creativity, and adaptability are encouraged across the curriculum. Technology is an essential tool for learning and graduates are uniquely prepared for the challenges and opportunities of our time.</p>
<p><b>A Balanced Approach</b><br />
The application of advanced technological tools depends on the teachers, the students, and the subjects. In World Affairs, seniors pull laptops from the school carts to check developing global news, international relations sites, and subscription databases. Chemistry students analyze lab results on their own web pages, photography students use digital editing software, Spanish students practice grammar on Quizlett, and music students record and fine-tune performance material. In Idealism and Humanity, ninth graders work in small groups to create their own societies, reconciling differences of belief and ideals — no tech needed.</p>
<p>Some students bring their own laptops to class, though most take notes by hand. The latest research from a team of Princeton and UCLA scientists confirm that this approach beats a keyboard when it comes to conceptual understanding of the materials presented in a lecture. (Mueller &amp; Oppenheimer, 2014) </p>
<p>Students turn off cell phones during school hours, a policy that helps preserve lively and text-free social interactions at lunchtime. At home, students connect electronically to check an assignment, submit a paper, send a question to a teacher via school email account, create a student study group, or track academic progress in a class.</p>
<p><b>A Foundation for Innovation</b><br />
At the university level, the movement to spur innovation by weaving the arts into traditional STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math) is gaining momentum. It is an approach used at San Francisco Waldorf High School to help students gain creativity in thinking across subjects. Along with a record of mathematical equations and theories, for instance, students create unique and precise illustrations in classes like projective geometry and astronomy. </p>
<p>The school’s block schedule also allows for depth of exploration into sciences and mathematics: the curriculum exceeds University of California admissions requirements and all students study physics, trigonometry, and calculus and chaos theory, with honors classes offered. </p>
<p>The education works, report alumni in technical fields. They note that the school’s exceptional teachers and innovative curriculum help them thrive in undergraduate, graduate studies, and careers. And they are grateful for the balance — tech and otherwise — that San Francisco Waldorf High School afforded them through adolescence.</p>

High SchoolWed, 19 Nov 2014 23:43:37 +0000swhite1113 at http://www.sfwaldorf.orgSenior Honors Biology Electivehttp://www.sfwaldorf.org/node/1110
<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p><i><a href="/sites/default/files/sfwhs_december_09.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/sfwhs_december_09-200x133.jpg" width="200" height="133" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" /></a>~ Dr. John Burket, HS Biology Teacher</i></p>
<p>Students at SFWHS have always felt a strong connection to learning, and not long after the opening of the high school in 1997 they began to request electives as a way to deepen the work they enjoyed in their regular course of study. These requests echoed the high school faculty’s desire to teach more advanced classes, and about twelve years ago we began to offer electives in the arts, humanities, math, and sciences to 11th and 12th graders. I was eager to offer an Honors Biology class for our seniors and it has been part of our curriculum ever since. </p>
<p>The typical class size for Honors Biology has been around 10, but this year an unprecedented 18 students signed up! We meet for one 75-minute and two 60-minute sessions per week until mid-May, giving us the opportunity to engage in long- term experiments and have at least one full lab session a week. Requirements for the course are a grade of B or better in previous Biology Main Lessons and a successful completion of at least Algebra II. </p>
<p>In addition to four main lessons each in physics, chemistry, and earth science, all students take four main lessons of biology during their SF Waldorf high school career. The curriculum begins in 9th grade, where the focus is on the anatomy and physiology of the nervous, cardiovascular, and skeletomuscular systems of the human being with comparisons to other organisms. The phenomena of these topics meet the 9th grader well because we all have direct experiences of these systems every day in a physical way. Embryology and heredity are explored in 10th grade as students observe the development of live zebra fish eggs, learn the details of human gestation, and get an introduction to genetics. The theme of fluid change is an overarching one for this block allowing 10th graders to explore the age-appropriate question of “How?” In 11th grade, students have matured in their thinking to the point where unseen processes can be explored in a more conceptual way, and this new ability is met by the topics of botany and cell biology. Here we learn the life cycles of plants and cells and study the biochemical processes of photosynthesis and respiration. All seniors study zoology and evolution in their biology block and learn about the vast animal kingdom, human evolution, and the history of evolutionary thought. The thinking of 12th graders is now ready for synthesis and paradox, aspects that are abundant in learning about the forces in evolution, such as cooperation through symbiosis, competition, natural selection, and those not yet fully understood.</p>
<p>The topics of the Honors Biology elective build on these main lessons and range from the molecules of life to the functioning of ecosystems. The enjoyable challenge for me as a teacher is to avoid falling prey to the seduction of reductionism. Picking things apart and studying their individual components, such as the DNA molecule, has taught us much over the past 60 years, but DNA operates in and is informed by the larger context of organisms living in an environment. The same can be said of all levels of study in biology: from molecules to biomes, there is always a larger context to consider. That said, students come out of the course knowing (I hope) how cells synthesize proteins and how all living things get their energy from the ATP molecule. </p>
<p>When I was planning this course, I considered making it an AP Biology class, but after attending an AP workshop, I had my suspicions confirmed that the curriculum was geared too much towards remembering facts. The AP designation was not as important to me as the freedom to construct my class anew each year, based on the students in front of me. Nevertheless, many of the lab experiments we do are from the AP curriculum, and include work such as the quantitative analysis of enzyme activity, osmotic water potential of cells, and measurements of cellular respiration under different conditions. Students also perform and present experiments that they have designed together in groups. I have helped several students over the years successfully complete the AP Biology test if they want to take it. The bottom line is that this is a very rewarding class to teach because I am privileged to see these most interested and engaged students bring together all they have learned before. I am glad also to see that many of these students go on to study biology in college.</p>

<p>Author and former S.F. Board of Supervisor Carol Ruth Silver will discuss her award-winning book&nbsp;<i>Freedom Rider Diary: Smuggled Notes from Parchman Prison</i>&nbsp;at the High School's assembly on Monday, January 26, 2015 from 11:35 am to 12:20 pm in the Eurythmy room.</p>
<p>Arrested as a Freedom Rider in June of 1961, Carol Ruth Silver, a twenty-two-year-old recent college graduate originally from Massachusetts, spent forty days in Mississippi jail cells, including the Maximum Security Unit at the infamous Parchman Prison Farm. She chronicled the events and her experiences on hidden scraps of paper which amazingly she was able to smuggle out. These raw written scraps she fashioned into a manuscript, which has waited, unread for more than fifty years. Freedom Rider Diary is that account.</p>
<p>Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into the segregated southern United States in 1961 to test the U.S. Supreme Court rulings outlawing segregation in interstate bus and terminal facilities. Brutality and arrests inflicted on the Riders called national attention to the disregard for federal law and the local violence used to enforce segregation. Police arrested Riders for trespassing, unlawful assembly, and violating state and local Jim Crow laws, along with other alleged offenses, but they often allowed white mobs to attack the Riders without arrest or intervention.Carol Ruth Silver will give a presentation detailing her life before and after the Freedom Rides, and explore what led her to join the Civil Rights movement. &nbsp;She will explain how, galvanized by her actions and those of her compatriots in 1961, she has spent her life and career fighting for civil rights.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A book signing will follow the program and Books Inc. will sell copies of her book.&nbsp;</p>
<p><i>Carol Ruth Silver, San Francisco, California, is a retired lawyer, activist, and former elected official, serving three terms on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, from 1977 to 1989. She has been working for the past ten years to enhance education, particularly for women and girls, in Afghanistan.</i></p>

~ Mary Anne McGill, HS Librarian</i></p>
<p>In June 2013, I had the privilege of hearing Congressman Lewis speak at the American Library Association Conference in Chicago. John Lewis and his legislative aide Andrew Aydin had just co-authored March: Book One, a graphic novel, to educate and inspire a new generation to work for human rights. Lewis gave a powerful speech on the struggles of the Civil Rights movement and the path that led him to seek social change through nonviolence. I was so moved by his passionate presentation that I left his talk almost in tears. His courage and integrity impressed me so much that hours after his talk, I took the opportunity to invite him to speak for our High School Lecture Series - thinking it would be a long shot.</p>
<p>Sometimes when we take action from the heart, events unfold in unexpected ways. In June 2014, I selected March: Book One for our high school’s summer reading with the hope that John Lewis would come to our school in the Fall. A week later, Congressman Lewis’ office suddenly accepted our invitation. The next month, while reading the SF Chronicle’s book reviews, I discovered Matt Herron, a local photojournalist who documented the Civil Rights movement for Life, Look, and Time in the 1960s and had just published Mississippi Eyes: The Story of the Southern Documentary Project to honor the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer. On a whim, I contacted Herron and to my surprise, he quickly agreed to set-up a photo exhibit of his work at our program.</p>
<p>Since the Bay Area has a long history of social activism, I felt strongly that we should invite a leader with ties to social justice to introduce John Lewis. I recalled a powerful essay, “Summer of Violence,” written by Adam Hochschild, about his life-changing experience as a civil rights worker in the Freedom Summer. Hochschild is a National Book Award-nominated historian who has written extensively on human rights and co-founded Mother Jones magazine. He is also a former Waldorf school parent. I decided to extend an invitation to him and he immediately wrote back, “Sure. How could I ever say no? I’ve admired John Lewis for more than 50 years. Besides that summer in Mississippi, I was in the crowd the year before, when he gave his speech at the March on Washington.” </p>
<p>On Saturday, September 20, more than fifty years after he spoke at the March on Washington, Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) brought the message of peace, nonviolence, and social justice to a crowd of nearly 400 at Calvary Presbyterian Church for our High School Public Lecture Series. Members of our high school choir and faculty opened with “There is a Balm in Gilead,” a traditional African-American spiritual. Later, John Lewis pointed out that it was Martin Luther King’s favorite song. </p>
<p>The spirit of the era came alive with Matt Herron’s photo exhibit, “The Civil Rights Movement: 1963-1965,” the presence of a group of Bay Area veterans of the Civil Rights movement including former San Francisco Supervisor Carol Ruth Silver, and with the HS choir’s final song, “We Shall Overcome,” the protest song that became a key anthem of the Civil Rights movement. </p>
<p>On Monday, September 22, Congressman Lewis and Andrew Aydin visited our high school. Their remarks inspired thoughtful questions by the student body, including, “The Civil Rights Movement was clearly a collaboration of many different people. Is there anyone you feel has been overlooked even for their leadership?” “Did you have any contact with Malcolm X? What did you think of Malcolm X?” “Did getting arrested more than 40 times hurt you politically?” “Did you ever want to react violently?” The discussion ranged from the practice of nonviolent activism and social media as a tool for change, to the challenges of current student loan debt. </p>
<p>On both days, Lewis described what it was like to grow up in the Deep South in the 1940s and 1950s: </p>
<p> “When we would visit Montgomery, the little town of Troy, Birmingham, Tuskegee, I saw those signs ‘White Men,’ ‘Colored Men,’ ‘White Women,’ ‘Colored Women,’ ‘White Waiting,’ ‘Colored Waiting,’ and I would come home and ask my mother, my father, my grandparents, my great-grandparents, ‘Why?’ </p>
<p>“That’s the way it is. Don’t get in the way. Don’t get in trouble.</p>
<p>“When we would go downtown to the little town of Troy, to the theater on a Saturday afternoon, all of us little black children had to go upstairs to the balcony, all of the little white children went down to the first floor. I kept on saying, ‘Why?’</p>
<p>“Fifteen years old in the 10th grade, I heard of Rosa Parks. I heard the words of Martin Luther King on the radio. The words of MLK Jr. inspired me to find a way to get in the way. I was so inspired by Dr. King, that in 1956, at the age of 16, with some of my brothers and sisters and cousins, we went down to the public library trying to get library cards, trying to check out some books. We were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only and not for coloreds.”</p>
<p>Lewis encouraged students to speak up and take action against injustices:</p>
<p>“If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation, a mission and a mandate to stand up, to speak up and speak out and do something about it. We have an obligation to leave this little piece of real estate, this little space ship that we call America a little greener, a little cleaner…and a little more peaceful for the generations not yet born. </p>
<p>“It doesn’t matter if we are black or white or Latino, Asian-American or Native Americans. We are one people, one family. We all live in the same house. Not just an American house but the world house.</p>
<p>“You are smart and gifted students. You will be the leaders of the 21st century. You must not just do well, but you must go out and do good. Not for just this little part of the planet, but for all around the world, and one day, one of you will be a great filmmaker, a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor, a scientist, a successful business person, maybe you will be a mayor of a city, governor of a state, a member of Congress, maybe President of the U.S. Maybe you will teach people the way of peace, the way of love, and find a way to get in the way. Find a way to get in good trouble, necessary trouble, to create what Dr. King called the ‘Beloved Community.’ Be not afraid. Walk with the wind and follow the teachings of March.”</p>
<p>Congressman Lewis ended his talk saying, “Understand that the way of peace, the way of love, the way of nonviolence is a better way, and it is an immutable principle that you cannot deviate from.”</p>
<p>He then invited all of the students to come visit his Congressional office in Washington, D.C.<br />
Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin’s visit deepened our understanding of our history, and inspired us all to follow his lead, to be leaders, agents for social change, and to serve our communities with compassion and integrity.</p>
<p>Since their visit to the HS, two seniors Aldyn Markle and Charlotte Halifax have decided to make a hand-bound book of thank you notes from the students and the teachers, and enclose photos from the two events, to express their deep appreciation to Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin.</p>
<p>Both the community talk and the high school visit were planned, organized, and presented through a mighty team effort. A special thanks to Mitch Mitchell, Advancement Director and the entire Advancement team for their hard work, enthusiasm and support: Seraph White, Advancement Associate, Grace Kim, Special Gifts Coordinator and Kim Hopper. Thanks to Lori Grey, GS Enrollment Director, for her support and also to Scott Chernis, GS parent, for photographing the event. Thank you David Weber, Choir and Humanities Teacher, for opening the program and bringing a beautiful musical element to the program. Thank you HS choir and faculty members for your uplifting voices. An additional thanks to Lisa Barry, HS Enrollment Director; Lisa Anderson, HS Administrative Coordinator; Charlene Davis, HS Enrollment Associate, and to the many high school student volunteers who assisted at the event. </p>
<p>Finally, a round of applause to our co-sponsors Books Inc. and Glide Memorial Church, and to Calvary Presbyterian Church.</p>

<p><strong>Tuesday, October 28, 7pm&nbsp;</strong><br />High&nbsp;School Campus&nbsp;</p>
<p>Free to the community&nbsp;</p>
<p>Education can all too easily become preoccupied with efficiency, productivity, and results. In an effort to prepare students, such results-based approaches treat learning as a means to an end, turning schooling into training and emphasizing information and knowledge at the expense of insight and creativity. We will explore how educators and parents can help cultivate wisdom alongside knowledge by focusing on the ‘journey of education’ rather than the ‘goals of instruction’. How can parents and the school together form a community of support for the children? Douglas Gerwin, Ph.D., will explore how education can promote or inhibit three kinds of intelligence: cognitive, emotional, and moral. Further discussion will focus on the difference between ‘education’ and ‘training’, and how Waldorf graduates fare after high school.</p>
<p><i>Douglas Gerwin, Ph.D., has taught history, literature, German, music, and life science at college and Waldorf high school levels for the past 35 years. As Director of the Center for Anthroposophy, he divides his time between adult education and teaching adolescents, as well as mentoring Waldorf schools across North America. &nbsp;Himself a Waldorf graduate, Douglas is the founder of the Waldorf High School Teacher Education Program at the Center as well as Executive Director of the Research &nbsp;Institute for Waldorf Education. He is author of numerous articles on education and anthroposophy, as well as editor of six books on Waldorf education. At present, he resides in Amherst, Massachusetts, with his wife Connie, a Waldorf high school teacher of mathematics.</i></p>

<p><strong>Wednesday, October 22, 7pm</strong><br />High&nbsp;School Campus</p>
<p>Free to the community&nbsp;</p>
<p>Living willow structures (such as gazebos, tunnels, outdoor living rooms) have so much potential in the landscape. Structures are made from long, live (up to 12 feet) willow rods which are pushed into the ground and then woven. These rods then self root and become green! Bonnie Gale has installed over 40 of these structures to date in schools, public spaces and for private clients. In this presentation, she will review the methods, planting needs and how they can be included in everyday landscape design.&nbsp; Bonnie will discuss international research and the use of living materials in buildings. She will show how living buildings are possible.&nbsp;Participants will gain an understanding of the nature and behavior of willow rods; the growing needs of willow; the methods of construction and design of willow structures and how they are maintained.</p>

<p><em>Bonnie Gale has been a professional traditional willow basketmaker and willow artist for the past 31 ye</em><em>ars. In 1999, she was awarded an Artist's Fellowship from New York Foundation for the Arts. Her living willow installations have been featured in Vogue, Vogue Living, House and Garden and Fiber Arts magazines.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">"A Champion for Civil Rights on the Continuing March for Equality"</h4>
<p style="text-align: center;">with Congressman John Lewis of Georgia and Andrew Aydin, Congressional Aide<br /><span>moderated by Adam Hochschild,<em> UC Berkeley, Graduate School of Journalism</em></span>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="/sites/default/files/march_book_one_cover_300dpi.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/march_book_one_cover_300dpi-200x292.jpg" width="200" height="292" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 5px;" /></a>Saturday, September 20, 2014, 2 PM<br />Calvary Presbyterian Church<br />2515 Fillmore Street<br />San Francisco</p>
<p>Congressman John Lewis of Georgia is an American icon, one of the key figures of the Civil Rights Movement. &nbsp;His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lewis was a leader in many of the most dramatic campaigns of the movement: &nbsp;the lunch counter sit-ins, the Freedom Rides and the March on Washington&nbsp;where he gave a speech (he is now a sole surviving speaker of the March) as well as the historic march in Selma, Alabama. &nbsp;He has been&nbsp;an apostle of nonviolent civil disobedience in his pursuit of justice and is one of America's most courageous champions of human rights.</p>
<p>To inspire a new generation to engage in the continuing battle for human rights, Congressman Lewis and Andrew Aydin recently authored&nbsp;<i><b>March: Book One</b></i>, a graphic novel, on Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, and a meditation "on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation."</p>
<p><span><span>National Book Award-nominated historian Adam Hochschild, moderator, is one of the co-founders of&nbsp;</span></span><em>Mother Jones</em><span>&nbsp;magazine and author of many books including&nbsp;</span><em>King Leopold’s Ghost: a Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa</em><span>. He teaches at the Graduate School of Journalism at the UC Berkeley.</span></p>

All SchoolHigh SchoolGrade SchoolThu, 24 Jul 2014 22:39:59 +0000swhite1080 at http://www.sfwaldorf.orgNick Neumann (SFWS 2008), Documentary Filmmakerhttp://www.sfwaldorf.org/node/1070
<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p class="ArticleHeader"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/nneumann-250x250.jpg" width="250" height="250" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" />With a duffel bag of camera equipment and a one-way ticket to Rio de Janeiro, budding documentary filmmaker <b>Nick Neumann (SFWS 2008)</b> and two travel companions will “embark on an epic journey around the world” in June called “Breaking Borders”. Part film project and part travel adventure, the team will chronicle the trip for their webtv series, and explore social, political, and human interest story ideas along the way.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="ArticleBody">Nick is joined by photographer and fellow alum <b>Walker Dawson (SFWS 2008)</b> and writer <b>Chris Moreno (SFWS 2009)</b>. First stop:&nbsp; the World Cup in Rio de Janiero, accommodations supplied by a local documentary filmmaker discovered though AirBnB. </p>
<p class="ArticleBody">The trip is the latest in a series of adventures by Neumann that began during a post-high school “gap year.”&nbsp; Following six month of working and saving money, Nick traveled through India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Cambodia — always with camera in hand. </p>
<p class="ArticleBody">When he returned home, Nick began studies at Occidental College, majoring in Diplomacy and World Affairs and minoring in film. He graduated from college last spring following a four-month study abroad program to Tanzania that focused on wildlife conservation and political ecology.&nbsp; </p>
<p class="ArticleBody">The Africa program, sponsored by the School of International Training, included 24 students from colleges around the country. The first night in Tanzania was spent in tents on a wildlife preserve, watchperson standing by. Following orientation and Swahili language instruction, students conducted intensive studies in different regions of the country, ending with a month-long independent study.&nbsp; For Nick, an examination of water access and management was the clear choice.</p>
<p class="ArticleBody">“In peaceful Tanzania the greatest cause of poverty is the lack of access to water,” noted Nick. “Water ties the community, agriculture, and wildlife together in a complex and increasingly fragile web — an issue I wanted to explore.”</p>
<p class="ArticleBody"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/neumann-250x139.jpg" width="250" height="139" style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;" />Nick set out for the Katuma River which runs through Katavi National park near the border with the Congo and eight hours from the nearest paved road.&nbsp; Once a perennial river, drought conditions combined with population increases and unregulated<br />
rice irrigation by small farmers has strained supplies.&nbsp; Nick talked to local farmers, interviewed water district managers, and saw first-hand the impact of dwindling water supplies on human and wildlife populations.&nbsp; His study of the problems and possible solutions culminated in the short film, <i>Katuma: River of Contradiction</i>. </p>
<p class="ArticleBody">With his next project just around the corner, Nick reflected fondly on his time at San Francisco Waldorf School — from the third grade Covelo field trip to a high school photographic essay on homelessness.&nbsp; Nature and art, so fundamental to his school experiences, continue to find expression today.</p>
<p class="ArticleBody">Resourceful, open-minded, and adventurous, Nick sees travel as a way to keep exploring social, political, and environmental issues.&nbsp; “It’s about putting yourself out there,” he said.&nbsp; “It’s about being open to new people and new experiences, and wanting to keep learning.” </p>

All SchoolHigh SchoolMon, 16 Jun 2014 23:44:18 +0000swhite1070 at http://www.sfwaldorf.orgWaldorf Athletics: A Personal Perspective from Josh Allain, Assistant Athletics Directorhttp://www.sfwaldorf.org/node/1068
<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p><a href="/sites/default/files/019.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/019-250x166.jpg" width="250" height="166" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" /></a>I arrived at San Francisco Waldorf High School as the Head Baseball Coach in 2011, overjoyed by the opportunity and the positive school atmosphere. I had no idea that becoming a part of this beautiful community would change the course of my life forever and help to shape my philosophy towards athletics and child development as a whole.</p>
<p>Growing up as the son of a coach, I looked at athletics from multiple viewpoints. The discussions my father and I would have on our way home from practice and games centered around how to make sure every player felt like a part of the team instead of the final score. Sure, we would sometimes discuss the aspects of the game itself, but the focus would usually lie in the context of the experience each player was having and figuring out a way to make it more enjoyable for everyone. As I got older and began playing high school sports, I realized that this type of coaching was very uncommon and that most coaches had only one thing on their mind: to win.</p>
<p>Looking back, this was all preparation for the job of being a head coach at SF Waldorf. I came into the job bursting with excitement and determined to create an encouraging atmosphere where teamwork and togetherness were paramount. In my first season as coach I was amazed at the level of self-awareness and compassion that each player possessed. As I got to know the players on a deeper level I began to see and experience the power of Waldorf education through the lives of these high school boys. They had a knack for being in the present moment at all times and embodied the virtues of good sportsmanship at every turn. They were respectful and polite without losing any of their competitive spirit. It was the first time in my life that I had been around a team that gave everything they had to the game without sacrificing a shred of integrity.</p>
<p>In my first year as coach, the team made it all the way to the league championship. We were one strike away from winning the first league title in school history when our opponents mounted a comeback and went on to win the game in dramatic fashion. In our post-game meeting in the outfield grass, I reminded the team of how proud they should be of the effort that they put forth and that I could not imagine coaching a better group of guys. </p>
<p>To be honest, I thought they would take the loss a lot harder than they did. When I saw a handful of them 10 minutes later kicking around a soccer ball in the parking lot with smiles on their faces, I realized that the person who had learned the biggest lesson that day was me Through their ability to give 100% effort during the game and then separate how they felt about themselves from the result of the game, they showed me what healthy competition looks like. I will never forget the feeling I experienced that day and continue to use that moment to guide my players and my own coaching.</p>
<p>At the start of the 2012 school year I was hired as Assistant Athletic Director, overseeing the athletics program at the Grade School. Since beginning at the High School as the baseball coach, I had begun reading Rudolf Steiner and recognizing the universal truths in his writing on child development. I was excited to begin working more closely with the teachers and administration to help shape an approach to athletics that was aligned with the Waldorf pedagogy. The warmth and inclusion that was extended to me at the school far surpassed my expectations and as I began to dig deeper into Waldorf education I realized that there was a very clear synergy between the pedagogy and an approach to sports that focuses on development and self-discovery.</p>
<p>Now, as I near the end of my second year in this position I am happy to say that Grade School athletics are thriving. We have the most supportive and encouraging parent base in the city. All of our games are well attended and the positive energy that our community brings to the gyms and playing fields across the city is inspiring. We have been able to hire coaches who embody positive values that are aligned with our school. They celebrate the individuality of all our students and aim to create an atmosphere of cooperation and respect. They understand that they are role models for our students and take pride in carrying themselves with grace and integrity. </p>
<p>As we look forward to a new school year in the fall, we do so with great excitement and joy that the children at our school have the opportunity to both express and discover themselves through the experience of team sports. This positive experience is made possible because of the love and dedication of the teachers and administrators at the school, our dedicated coaches, and most importantly our supportive parents. For without you, none of this would be possible.<br />
Go Waldorf!</p>

<div class="content-field field field-type-text field-field-cck-body">
<div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p><em>~ Kim Hopper with John Jackson, HS Math and PE Faculty</em></p>
<p>
<a href="/sites/default/files/img_2431.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/img_2431-250x188.jpg" width="250" height="188" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" /></a></p>
<p>Like other subjects at the high school, the physical education/movement program works to support students’ growth and development and deepen their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. It’s an integrated approach in which the value of movement goes well beyond our culture’s emphasis on exercise. </p>
<p>Of course, exercise and fresh air are an essential part of the school day, and our students get plenty of these. Through movement, students can also deepen their understanding of the curriculum, and explore their physical body in space and in relation to others in the community, and work toward integration of the body and mind. This is no easy task in our sit-down, technology-driven day and age, even for many adults, but it is a vital thread throughout the curriculum.</p>
<p><a href="/sites/default/files/img_3181.jpg" class="thickbox"><img src="/sites/default/files/resize/img_3181-250x188.jpg" width="250" height="188" style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;" /></a>Practically speaking, the high school has defined opportunities during the school day for sports and games, and rhythm and dance. Students also participate in eurythmy and in outdoor education excursions, from kayaking to a Senior Quest. Finally, and somewhat unique to Waldorf education, are opportunities for kinesthetic learning of the subject matter at hand.</p>
<p>Take for example, the ninth grade interdisciplinary study of the Pacific Rim. Not only do students in Mr. Wong’s class spend time at Ocean Beach reflecting on their Pacific environment, they explore Shinto ceremony and rituals and the origins and movement of sumo wrestling. In tenth grade, the Classic World block integrates study of The Odyssey and Ancient Greece with practice in discus, shot put, javelin, and some Greco-Roman wrestling. Our eleventh grade students read Parzival, the 13th-century epic poem, and discuss the warrior training and ethic of Arthurian knights. Main Lesson begins outside as students explore the motion of a spear through the air. With practice, a student may experience the path and trajectory of the object in space, beginning with full extension the arm behind the body, and the sense that the flight of the spear originates in the infinite periphery. Ideally, the muscles are used for acceleration along a continuing path, as the thrower learns to honor the movement. (This exercise may also inform the class study of projective geometry.)</p>
<p>In physical education classes, ninth and tenth graders participate in various dance instruction and learn sports skills such as soccer and basketball, among others. These sports classes emphasize skill development and agility in a cooperative atmosphere. Certainly, many of our students are fully and successfully engaged in competitive athletics inside and outside of the high school. Those with high skills levels impressively direct their gifts toward supporting the group, reserving competitive aspects of sports for after school matches. </p>
<p>In the eleventh and twelth grades, students may select from an array of physical education electives, including volleyball, soccer, hockey, tennis, yoga, rock climbing (at Planet Granite), and swing dance. It is the objective of the program, and the goal of the teachers, that by the time students leave, they will have developed an appreciation for movement and a love of a particular activity that can be independently sustained.</p>
